Hi There. Stupid me. ha. I had to change alternator on my old Nissan today.
I had to remove dipstick to free the alternator, and I ended up leaving the dipstick out the entire hour with moderate wind and not an insignificant amount of dirt in the air.
You think I need to change the oil in a a week or so to get out whatever filtered down the dipstick tube?
Or let it be until I change the oil around March 2017?
The oil only has 500 miles and 1 month on it. I tend to go close to a year on the oil because I only put 5000 miles or less, MaxLife Valvoline is in there.
The dipstick itself had collected a lot of dirt from sitting out, I wiped it off obviously.
